Railroad Legislation.

We are glad to note the following
very conservative expression from
the Nashville American:
in view of the pendancy and pass
age of the Interstate Commerce bill
The American has suggested, on the
railroad question, to the Legislature
a do-nothing policy. Under the OPP
erations of the Interstate Commerce
measures it is utterly impossible to
toresee or foretell the result. If it
meets the ends claimed by its adj
vocates there may be then cause for
supplementary legislation, which can
be intelligently done only when the
results are visible. If the results are
not good State legislation upon the
same line will fail from like causes.
There is no demand upon the part. of
the people for legislation upon this
subject in advance of the operations
of the Interstate bill.
There should not be exhibited a
captious opposition to railroads. The
opposition should be exhibited to
railroad methods of interference in
State and National politics. The
railroads should be dealt with as any
other great interest, fairly, justly, but
at the same time, when necessity re-
quifes, positively.
Just now, when the matter of build
ing new railroads is being agitated
and with such favorable prospects O
accomplishment, we should do moth
ing to dampen the ardor of those en-
gagged and interested, for at last, the
safest remedy is competition. We
can afford to await the results of thu
National legislation on the question
especially in view of the probable
early construction of competing sys
tenn, throughout the State.

WE would like to ask Senator Fair
banks if he honestly thinks he is
standing up fairly and squarely to
the pledges he made the temperance
people of this county to support the
submission Of the prohibition amend
ment to the people. Mr.. Fairbanks
was known to be opposed to prohibi-
ton, but when that measure came
up before the Senate he supported
it unhesitatingly. Now when it
comes to the question of submisson,
to which he is pledged, he falters,
lodges, and violates the spirit, if not
the letter of his pledges. The people
of Tennessee have demanded of the
present General Assembly the sub.
mission of this prohibitory amend
ment to them at the ballot box, at g
separate election and free from all en-
tangling alliances. Whatever vary
ing opinions there may be regarding
prohibition, the right of the people tt
demand its submission to them il
unquestioned. 1t is the plain duty
of our General Assembly to submit
this amendment to the people at {
separate election during The conlingfall
and the attempt on the part of som,
Of the Senators, ours among tn
number, to put it off until the gener
al election of 1888, and thus lay tn
question into hot political cam
paign, is perversion of the trust re
posed in them by their constituents
Since the above was put in typ
the bill fixing the election for the las
Thursday in September next, ha
passed third reading in the Senate.

the other. He has never said he
would favor Federal aid in but a
single mode, and until it is shown
that be has said this there is not the
semblance of inconsistency.
Every fair minded man who will
take up Gov. Taylor's utterances and
examine them for himself will be
compelled to the conclusion that
there is no ground for these serious
charges. We do hope, for the sake of
justice and the good of the party that
this needless "fuss in the family"will
be frowned down by the cool headed
friends of Tennessee Democracy, and
have no doubt that theirsober second
thought will condemn it.

THE submission bill, fixing the
date of the special election sometime
in September next, passed third and
final reading in the Senate Wednes-
day by vote of 81 to 1. Mr.. Fair
banks was the only member to re-
cord his vote against it. The whisky
men ought to build him a monument
of swill tubs and old barrels, and
ornament it with bar fixtures.

THE Nashville American, by its
bitter and unjust war upon Gov. Tay-
Tor, is doing great deal more to aid
and encourage the Republican party
in Tennessee than anything Gov.
Taylor has ever done. If both of the
Nashville morning papers were as
Jealous in guarding the real interests
of the Democratic party as they are
in nursing factional antagonisms and
venting the personal spites of their
respective editors, there would be
more Democratic harmony in the
state and less hope in the Republican
ranks.
